Immediately the plane came to a stop, passengers escaped the plane using the emergency slides from the side of the plane’s door.

A Russia’s Interfax news agency reported that there was a loss of communication which was caused by a lightning strike which caused the plane to return to Sheremetyevo.

A shocking video of the incident showed that the plane came on the runway at great speed before hitting the group, causing it to launch back into the air and then hitting the runaway again which made it go up in flames.
